Pulau Lang Tengah

On Malaysia Week, my group of 16 and Mr. Whiting and Ms. Rector traveled to the east coast to Pulau Lang Tengah. The people in 6th grade were Grant, Seb, Ahmed, Tobi, Amber, and me. On the first day, we couldn't go to our island because it was raining to hard and the boat weren't allowed to go out to the sea. That day, we stayed at a nice hotel. We could choose our roommates (up to 5 people). Our room consisted of Grant, Ted, Ahmed, Seb, and me. We stayed up all night playing poker (betting with mentos). Ted kept on going All In with his mentos and if he won the round, he would start dancing on the poker table.

The next couple of day 3rd days, we came to the island and started kayaking and snorkeling. We stayed at a dorm style resort. During our stay, I roomed with Seb. During snorkeling, the coolest fish I saw was a shark and barracuda. We kayaked around the whole island on the 3rd day. The last day was the best. We did the amazing race around the island. We had to hike and kayak with our partner. I was with Daniel Lee and we came in 4th place out of 8 teams. Luckily, my kayak didn't capsize during the Malaysia Week. Overall it was a near perfect Malaysia Week. All of us enjoyed it.
